Gambling Tax is an information site about online casinos, bonuses, payment methods and gambling rules in Canada. You can read every page without an account, and we keep what we learn about visitors to the minimum the site needs to work. This page explains exactly what that is.
On this page
What we collect
- No accounts, no forms. The site has no registration, newsletter, comments or contact form, so we do not ask for your name, email address or payment details.
- No analytics or advertising trackers. We do not run Google Analytics, advertising pixels or similar tools.
- Server logs. Like any website, the server that hosts this site records technical data about requests — IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. These logs are used to keep the site secure and working and are not used to build profiles of visitors.
Cookies we use
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. We set only one cookie of our own, and it is essential:
Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
casso_consent | Remembers your answer to the cookie notice (“Essential only” or “Accept all”), so the notice is not shown on every page. The same choice is also kept in your browser’s local storage. | 12 months |
wordpress_* / wp-settings-* | Set by WordPress only for site editors who log in to the admin area. Ordinary visitors do not receive them. | Session to 1 year |
We do not currently use analytics or advertising cookies. If we add any in the future, they will be switched on only after you choose “Accept all”, and this policy will be updated before that happens.
Third-party services
Google Fonts. The site’s typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). To deliver the font files, your browser connects to Google’s servers, which receive your IP address and browser details. Google describes how it handles this data in its own privacy policy. Google Fonts does not set cookies on this site.
Links to casino sites
Our guides link to casino operators and other websites. Some of these are partner links, which means we may receive a commission if you sign up with an operator — this never changes what our guides say about licences, bonus terms or payouts. Once you leave this site, the other website’s own privacy policy and cookies apply, and we have no control over what it collects. Read the operator’s terms before you open an account, and check that it is licensed where you live.
Your choices and rights
- Change your cookie choice at any time with the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page.
- Delete or block cookies in your browser settings. The site works without them; you will simply see the cookie notice again.
- Your privacy rights. Under Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) you can ask an organisation what personal information it holds about you and ask for it to be corrected. Because we do not collect personal information beyond the technical server logs described above, we normally hold nothing that identifies you.
Changes to this policy
If the way the site handles data changes — for example, if we add analytics or a contact form — we will update this page and the date at the top before the change takes effect.
